Didn't you get bored though? My job technically had me assigned to HQ duty but it was boring watching CNN all day. I used to jump at the chance to go out. Doing a whole tour on the FOB was like being in Jail. Besides as relatively Junior NCO you might get some weird ass duties like maintaining Iraqi weapons because they didn't know how to do it.@987654321, yeah no, I'm good.
It was cats outside pulling work details all day in 100+ degree heat. I was supposed to be one of em.
It'd be black flag before they stopped serving morning chow.
Nikkas was mad I wasn't working outside with them, but I'm getting paid the same, have better working conditions, and was cool with the higher-ups. I got AFN, internet, A/C, and a full fridge and big-ass freezer.
I'd be on some
shyt while they marched off to work in the field (literally).
